Grading and Late Work Policy

Grading:  categories

Notebooks - (25%) - Most of the writing in the notebooks will be done in class and can not be made up.  I am looking for full effort on writing tasks.

Homework - (5%) - Also see late work policy, if your work is late without an extension...you can NOT make up the academic responsibility portion. 

Academic Responsibility - (30%) Arrive to class on time, and fully prepared. Participate, and be a part of the conversation and the activities.  No use of cell phones or headphones of any kind. Keep computers shut when not instructed to use them. Avoid playing games, shopping, or anything else on your computer when you are expected to be working with them. Avoid distracting side conversations or disruptive behaviors. 

Skills - (40%) - All academic assignments will be broken down into the smaller "skills" that we are focusing on. Each skill will receive its own grade. (These assignments will follow the same late work policy)

**LATE WORK - the key here is to avoid late work. However, life does happen.  If you need more time, I am asking you to be responsible and ask for an extension.  If you complete an assignment late, you need to print and then fill out the Late Work Submission Form (this can also be found on the Classwork Tab in Google Classroom). The filled-out form will be turned into your classroom late work folder and graded the next Wednesday
